The Pointy House Murders Tony De Vita

Tony De Vita exposes the idiosyncratic facades of inimitable characters - any veneer of civility, conformity, is peeled back as their behavior exposes the subterfuge that transform an idyllic landscape into an arcane thicket of deceit - and murder. Builders Sal Ridiccio, acrophobic master craftsman and Julius, younger brother who would rather nail a pliant broad than a plywood board. Su, Chinese wife, owner of 'Pointy House' with husband, Skip Meriwether, painter with two ears and poet without a hunchback. Regina, current wife of Julius, steel tipped shoed, with a steel tipped tongue who asserts Julius moves his lips when he reads the back of a cereal box. Melissa, first wife of Julius, redheaded firebrand who is determined to solve murders for . . . Trooper Detective John Demetrius. Tagged "Cockeye" for his physical perambulations and cerebral perturbations by partner Tim "Kraze" Kurtz. Lilliputian 'Moe' Brown, brobdingnagian wheeler-dealer - verbally vulgar Blue Mingoe Casino facilitator. Babs and Mandy, 'Moe's' nieces/bodyguards - with more plastic in their revealing bras than in their concealed holsters. Joe Smith, Gooey Pond Park Ranger - Native American Blue Mingoe - who swaps peanuts for his squirrels for chips of his Blue Mingoe Casino.
